Jan. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Russia's offshore oil and gas fields are critical to guaranteeing the security of hydrocarbon supplies in Russia. Russia's Nature Ministry estimates recoverable resources in Russia's Arctic zone at 120 billion barrels of oil and nearly 85 trillion cubic meters of gas. The Barents Sea alone, recently demarcated by Russia and Norway, holds an estimated 7.6 billion metric tons of oil equivalent.

Organisers of Russia Offshore meeting is aiming exactly that: to bring together leading players such as Total, Statoil, Gazprom, Shtokman Development, Sakhalin Energy and many others.
